DARTMOUTH — Bristol County Savings Bank joined University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Chancellor Divina Grossman recently to announce a $250,000 donation from the Bank's charitable foundation to the University's Charlton College of Business. The funds will go to the Charlton College's capital drive to raise money for a new building housing state-of-the-art classrooms for the fast-growing College.

"The growth of the Charlton College of Business is one of many success stories on the campus of UMass Dartmouth," said Murray. "The Bristol County Savings Charitable Foundation has been an advocate for education as a cornerstone of a healthy, viable community since its inception and this grant to the Charlton College of Business is just one more example of that commitment."

Created in 1996, Charlton College's undergraduate enrollment has increased 84 percent and graduate enrollment by 74 percent since its naming. To accommodate this and future growth, the college is raising funds to build a new, $14.5 million Learning Pavilion, initiated by a generous $3 million gift from the Charlton Family Trust. The new wing will provide business-specific facilities, classroom space and an auditorium.
